🚨 Need Advice: Best Dealership for 2025 X6 in Southeast USA? 🚨

Hey Bimmer family! 👋

I’m in need of some serious help and advice. I recently lost my beloved 2022 X6 in the recent hurricane 🌪️ (it only had 17k miles on it, absolutely heartbreaking ). Now, I’m in the market for a 2025 BMW X6 and having a hard time finding a dealership that can help me out.

I’ve been reaching out to dealerships in the Sarasota, St. Pete, and Tampa areas, but the best offer I’ve gotten is a 3-4 month build time, which feels like forever! 🕒 Not only that, but they’re offering zero incentives—no BMW loyalty bonus, no discount off MSRP, nothing. They’re acting like they’re doing me a favor just by talking to me 😤 (this is from a dealer I’ve bought two other cars from 🤷*♂️).

I’m ready and willing to go to any dealership in the Southeast (Florida, Georgia, etc.) if it means getting the X6 faster and working with a more reasonable dealership. If you’ve had a great experience with a dealership that offers quicker build times or better deals, please share! I’ve been combing through the forums and can’t believe people are actually getting 5-10% off MSRP in some cases 😲.

Thanks in advance for the help, and I appreciate any tips or recommendations you can throw my way! 🙌

X6 allocations are hard to come by and discounts just as hard. You may want to try a broker, maybe Scott at Insight smithf80 can help you out.

The first roadblock you're going to hit is finding an allocation. However, due to the recall and stop sale many X6 drivers probably re-ordered and their original order is sitting on the lot. You might luck out there. Look into getting a broker and do not be afraid to go out of state and have it shipped. I'm in Texas and I ran into the same problem. Used a broker and got 8% of MSRP + incentives outside of Tx.

Hit these guys up smithf80 I've used them twice and nothing but great results! Good luck!

I cannot speak for X6. As TB says allocations are scarce. Worth a call to Omar.

We can help, but it is true that the allocations are hard to come by, and most dealers will not discount them due to simple supply and demand issues. That said, we'll do whatever we can for you!

I've had excellent luck purchasing from Field's BMW in both Lakeland and Winter Park. For an X6, I'd suggest Winter Park as they are a very high volume dealer and likely to have more allocations (I got my Z4 from there last year with no wait when other dealerships were quoting 2 to 6 months wait.) My CA was Tim Hannah. As others have said, low allocation cars make it harder to get discounts.

Sorry to hear that you lost your car. I mostly grew up in South Florida, so I've been through a zillion hurricanes and know what it's like.

If you're looking for an M60i, I have an allocation about to go into production (surprised that this is available!).

Coggin BMW in Stuart Florida gave my mom a great deal on a new X5 45e last year. I think she got around 7.5% off.

I agree with Gerry. We have been buying from Fields BMW Winter Park since 2011. I stop by to say hi to my team and have lunch regularly.
Definitely high volume. I don't use Tim but I know he is well liked there. I'd recommend Fields.
